Maternal Age and Trisomy
The association between increasing maternal age and trisomy is the most important etiologic factor in congenital chromosomal disorders. Among women under the age of 25, ~2% of all clinically recognized pregnancies are trisomic; by the age of 36, however, this figure increases to 10% and by the age of 42, to 33% (Fig. 63-5). This association between maternal age and trisomy is exerted without respect to race, geography, or socioeconomic factors and likely affects segregation of all chromosomes.

Historically speaking, the earliest asset pricing models made rel-
atively simple predictions about what it means for a benchmark to
be OE to a managed portfolio. The Capital Asset Pricing Model
of Sharpe (CAPM, 1964) implies that all investors should hold a
broadly diversiﬁed “market portfolio,” combined with safe assets or
“cash,” according to the investor’s tastes for risk. It follows that an
OE portfolio is a broadly diversiﬁed portfolio, combined with safe
assets or cash, mixed to have the same market risk exposure, or
“beta” coeﬃcient as the fund.

The account measures the Total Ecosystem
Accessible Fresh Water (TEAW) and the Net
Ecosystem Accessible Fresh Water Surplus (NEAWS)
adjusted for water stress during the vegetation
growing season.
Accounts in m3 are established for water stocks
in terrestrial ecosystems (soil and vegetation)
and water bodies (aquifers, lakes and dams,
rivers). They include a distinction between total
and accessible stocks, the difference being due to
physical or economic constraints of abstraction,
pollution or time mismatch between availability and
requirements for natural or human uses.

If the axles don’t fit the wheels, you’ll need to do some adjusting. If the axles are
too big (in diameter), try sharpening the ends in a pencil sharpener and jamming them
through the wheel opening. Once the wheel is centered on the axle, add a drop of hot
glue to hold it in place.
If the axles are too small for the wheels—a common problem if you’re substitut-
ing CDs for wooden wheels—you can add an insert or attachment to the wheel. Use
lids from milk cartons or small wooden wheels to hold the axles. Then tape the lids
or small wheels to the CD. Spin...

The EPA’s FY 2013 Annual Performance Plan and President’s Budget requests $8.344 billion,
approximately $105 million below FY 2012. The Agency recognizes the difficult fiscal situation
that the nation is facing, and is making strategic adjustments to sustain necessary and
fundamental human health and environmental protection within core resources and programs.

Moreover, school financial aid officials said that under
the Direct Loan Program they were also able to easily change the amount
of a loan if needed. For example, schools can adjust the amount of a
Direct Loan to reflect changes in students’ courseload or increases in grant
and scholarship aid—events that could affect the loan amount available to
borrowers. The fourth factor—ease of tracking student loans over time—
was important because the Direct Loan Program improved the loan
process for students.

Treating comorbid depression could increase adherence
to interventions for chronic medical illness
Comorbid depression is the existence of a depressive disorder (i.e. major
depression, dysthymia or adjustment disorder) along with a physical disease
(infectious, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, diabetes mellitus
or cancer). It is neither a chance phenomenon nor a mere feeling of demoral-
ization or sadness brought on by the hardships of a chronic illness.

THIS second edition, like the first, is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource tool.
Because of the positive response to the organization of the original text, the format
has remained the same. The Therapist's Guide to Clinical Intervention is divided into four
sections: Treatment Planning, Special Assessment, Skill-Building Resources, and Clinical/
Business Forms. The handbook concept has evolved and expanded, building on the strong
foundation of the first edition.

A combination of well-targeted treatment and prevention programmes in the ﬁeld of mental health, within overall pub-
lic strategies, could avoid years lived with disability and deaths, reduce the stigma attached to mental disorders, increase
considerably the social capital, help reduce poverty and promote a country’s development.

The global burden of neuropsychiatric disorders is substantial. When measured by years lived
with disability and years lost due to premature death in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs),
psychiatric and neurological conditions accounted for 13% of the global burden of disease in
2002 (WHO, 2004).
Despite the huge burden of mental illness, few human and financial resources are directed
towards mental health care. Mental health spending in many countries of the world is less than
1% of the health budget, and the number of mental health professionals is grossly inadequate
(WHO, 2005a)....

Common mental health disorders, such as depression, generalised anxiety
disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD),
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and social anxiety disorder
1
, may affect
up to 15% of the population at any one time. Depression and anxiety
disorders can have a lifelong course of relapse and remission. There is
considerable variation in the severity of common mental health disorders, but
all can be associated with significant long-term disability.
